swap (hash_multimap)
Exchanges the elements of two hash_multimaps.
void swap(
hash_multimap <Key, Type, Traits, Alloctor>& _Left,
hash_multimap <Key, Type, Traits, Allocator>& _Right
);
Parameters
_Right
The hash_multimap whose elements are to be exchanged with those of the map _Left._Left
The hash_multimap whose elements are to be exchanged with those of the map _Right.
Remarks
The template function is an algorithm specialized on the container class hash_multimap to execute the member function _Left.swap(_Right). This is an instance of the partial ordering of function templates by the compiler. When template functions are overloaded in such a way that the match of the template with the function call is not unique, then the compiler will select the most specialized version of the template function. The general version of the template function, template <class T> void swap(T&, T&), in the algorithm header file works by assignment and is a slow operation. The specialized version in each container is much faster as it can work with the internal representation of the container class.
In Visual C++ .NET 2003, members of the <hash_map> and <hash_set> header files are no longer in the std namespace, but rather have been moved into the stdext namespace. See The stdext Namespace for more information.
Example
See the example for the member function hash_multimap::swap for an example of the use of the template version of swap.
